age vs. mileage

I posted a thread a few months ago regarding whether to replace my '97 CSE due to rust issues (I live in a region that uses road salt in the winter). I received some helpful responses and suggestions for a suitable replacement vehicle (a truly difficult task). My '97 CSE is rusting around the fenders but is otherwise in great condition. The underbody and strut towers are fine, the interior is like new, I have meticulously maintained the paintwork and it actually looks comically perfect beside the bubbling fenders, and it only has 100,000 kms on it (barely broken in by most standards). It doesn't leak any fluids or burn oil. Several bodyshops have quoted $3,000 to replace/ repair the fender damage. People say, "It's 14 years old. Don't spend that kind of money on a vehicle this old." However, given its overall condition and the cost of replacing it with a newer vehicle with similar characteristics, is this really a foolish decision, and why?
